With the objective of expanding the scope of the “Family Centers” Program, the Municipality of Concordia and the National Ministry of Human Capital signed a new agreement that allows continuing to provide children between 6 and 17 years old the possibility of accessing extracurricular activities. At the same time, parents of families receiving the benefit receive training for family support in the “Raising in Freedom” space.
This social policy model, which began a few months ago in our city, focuses its action on the entire family structure, with the purpose of supporting them so they can raise their children in freedom and develop their life projects. This new stage has new affiliated spaces so that the young beneficiaries can access clubs, artistic and cultural workshops in local institutions.
The signing was carried out between Mayor Francisco Azcué and the Director of Territorial Planning of the Ministry of Human Capital, Francisco Palacin, with the participation of the Secretary of Human Development, Sebastián Arístide.
In this regard, Arístide specified that the “commitment was extended for a new 3-month period with the objective of reaching more families and beneficiaries from different neighborhoods of Concordia,” recalling that “we began by bringing this public policy to beneficiaries of the Universal Child Allowance and the Alimentar Card, giving them the opportunity to access recreational, sports, cultural, and educational activities.”
Arístide remarked that the first stage of the program “had good receptivity from the families but also from the institutions that joined, and for this second stage, more have been added, beginning to receive beneficiaries starting in the month of November.”
Finally, he indicated that as this social policy consolidates, the idea is to continue expanding the reach “to more sectors of our community starting in February of next year.”
While the children attend the institutions, the parents of the families accessing the benefit must mandatorily attend the “Raising in Freedom” space, where workshops and talks are held, given by local technical counselors trained by the National Secretariat for Children, Adolescents and Family (SENNAF). These spaces aim to provide tools to parents to improve the upbringing of their children. In this sense, the exchange of experiences is addressed, highlighting the importance of play, reading, and proper nutrition, enhancing the emotional development of the home and preventing situations of violence.
